Your tape player is built to work best with tapes that are 30 to 90 minutes in length. Longer tapes may be so thin that whey will not work well in this player. Do not use cassettes that are in bad condition, damaged, dirty, or have been exposed to extreme heat or sunlight. Use of poor quality, damaged or dirty tapes could cause your tape player to fail.

Cassette tapes wear out. When they are worn, sound quality is reduced. Always make sure that your tapes are in good condition before you play them. Metal tape sensing and equalization is automatic. An "M" icon will appear on the display when a metal tape is sensed.

Playing a Cassette

1. Turn the receiver "ON".

2. Insert a cassette into the cassette slot. The cassette icon will appear on the display and the tape will begin to play.

3. If you are listening to the radio, press the tape button (B) to play the cassette. If no tape is loaded into the player, the display will show "NO TAPE". If a tape is in the player, "TP SIDE1" or "TP SIDE2" will be displayed.

A tape may be inserted when the receiver is off by pressing eject (D) and inserting the tape within 25 seconds.

6/FF(H): Fast forward. The tape will continue to fast forward until stopped or the end of the tape is reached. The display will show "FWD>".

Eject (D). Press to eject your tape from the tape player. When Eject is held, it acts as a stop button.

Tape Reverse (H). Press this button to cause the tape to reverse directions and play the opposite side of the tape. Pressing the button again will cause the tape to reverse to the first side again. The tape will automatically reverse when the end of the tape is reached.

Programmable Eject Default

Your cassette player is pre-programmed to return to the radio band once a cassette is ejected. This default may be reset to "eject audio mute." When in this mode, the cassette player acts as an independent source. Upon ejecting a cassette the audio will mute the volume to zero, and the display will read "NO TAPE". The radio will remain muted until the BAND button is pressed, enabling the radio once again.

To change the eject default:

1. Press and hold the DSPL/TM SET button for at least two seconds until the hours digits flash.

2. Press the tape button to toggle between "P.PLAY" and "EJMUTE".

The receiver will return to normal operation after five seconds of inactivity.

Bad Tape Detect

If the receiver detects a bad cassette, "BAD TAPE" will appear on the display, and the tape will be ejected. The tape may be damaged or too tight. If it is damaged, try a new tape. If the tape is too tight, the player cannot turn the tape hubs. Remove the tape and hold it with the open end down. Try to turn the right hub counterclockwise with a pencil. Turn the tape over and repeat. If the hubs do not turn easily, your tape may be damaged and should not be used in the player.

If you want to use a CD adapter or a cleaning cassette, the bad tape detector must be turned off.

To turn the bad tape detector off:

1. Turn the ignition "ON" and the receiver "OFF".

2. Press and hold the tape button for five seconds. The display will read "BAD TAPE DETECT OFF" and the bad tape detector will be off.

Bad tape detect may be reactivated through the same procedure. The display will read "BAD TAPE DETECT ON" when activated.

Care of Your Cassette Player

    Always avoid:

  • Touching the cassette head with magnetic or hard objects.
  • Lubricating the player mechanism.
